Best birthday experience!! - Best experience ever. we were late and missed it. They were very accommodating and rescheduled for a few days later super knowledgeable. Very hands-on experience with recommended 1000% to everyone great taste testing. Didn’t realize how much fun making chocolate could be. Very interactive.

A SWEET adventure! - This was an afternoon of fun. The class itself was 35$ per person at the time and lasted 1-1.5 hours. Nome Choclate moved from thier old location and is up and running in the old town. It was a little hard to find due to poor signage but we got there in the end. The owner was our guide for the afternoon. Our class begain with an insightful introduction to the origins of choclate - from cacao bean to the sweet treat we endulge in today (and sometimes a little too much). What I loved about this tour was it's hands-on approach. We were invited to roll up our sleeves and get our hands into the chocolate making process. From roasting, to grinding and melting - every step is part of the skill. The highlight for all three of us was when we got to craft our very own chocoloate bar. We were offered nuts and fruits to add to our bars. This experience was really fun for our family. If you've got a few hours to spare whist in the Old Town, this is a great activity, especially if you are a chocolate lover!

Valentines Day Chocolate making - My fiancé and I decided to take this chocolate making class on Valentine’s Day during our trip to Panama. The class size wasn’t too late or too small it was just right. The instructor was very informative and kind. We tried many different chocolates and were able to get creative with making our own chocolate bars. We definitely enjoyed our time at this class and was the perfect choice to kick of our Valentine’s Day in Panama.

Delicious and informative! - The experience was informative and fun! Head chef, Lu, is enthusiastic about what she does and makes sure that you also get excited about chocolate! Not only do you taste several types of chocolate, you make and take your own incredible chocolate bar!

Surprise to Senses and Delight to Soul - This tour is a surprise to the senses and a delight to the soul! Lou was our guide to all things chocolate, and she was truly the gem of the show, which might sound like sacrilege to other chocolate lovers out there, but her joy, and sheer excitement, to bring us along on the chocolate journey left us full of happiness and not just chocolate! Oh, and you get to taste several varieties from this small chocolate factory, make your very own chocolate bar, and so eat your heart out Willy Wonka! Enjoy the magic of chocolate making!! LOU was a fabulous guide and hostess and we have recommended many people to enjoy this experience!

Room for improvement - This experience had a nice structure - how they outlined the steps in the process and let us try a few intermediate products. There were too many people for my liking - about 14-16 guests plus 3 staff persons in a very small space. I paid for 2 kids and 2 adults and felt like I always had to ask for the samples everyone else got as my son and husband were always passed over. You get to make one chocolate bar per person. Would be nice to have a few different flavoring options and less nuts given the commonality of nut allergies. Would have liked to view the bonbon making process even if we couldn’t execute in class.

Great experience! - My group really enjoyed this experience. The birthday lady was happy, so we're all very satisfied. I didn't care for the chocolate but learning about it was nice and the outcome was tasty.

Not Open for Business - Should not be advertising UNTIL site/location is ready to receive customers/visitors. ONLY private tours and rescheduled twice until I elected NOT TO ATTEND. I was so anticipating this experience. 😩
